How to set intentions on the new moon
The new moon on 10 October is in Libra — the perfect moment to set intentions for balance, love and self-worth.
The new moon is the start of the lunar cycle: the sky is dark, and anything is possible. It's the most powerful moment of the month to plant new intentions.
How to do it
- Choose your moment. The next new moon is on 10 October, in Libra. You can do your ritual that evening or in the two days after.
- Create a little ceremony. A candle, a cup of tea, a quiet corner.
- Write your intentions in the present tense — “I am calm and confident at work”, not “I want to be less stressed”.
- Keep them few. Three to ten intentions is plenty.
- Take one action towards one of them within 48 hours. Magic loves momentum.
